Towels are provided the moment you step from your raft and the design of our bamboo waterfall showers always has guests talking. Full amenities are provided. Once you have dried off, the most spoken about meal on the Ayung River is presented, with a selection of over 20 Western and Balinese dishes served up along with fruits, sweets and coffee or tea. Take the time to watch traditional artists' tool their craft at our finish point or sit down, join in and make your mark on a piece of Bali's future history.

SOBEK's jungle guides are well versed in the ways of nature and provide an illuminating insight into the realm of the rain forest on this adventure.

Interior Trek
Step back in time with SOBEK's trek into the interior of Bali. Heading to Mount Batu Karu, we stop near a hot spring before walking into one of the most fertile areas on the island. Whilst much of Bali has adopted the modern methods of the west, on the Batu Karu plain farmers continue the traditions of centuries along ago. Our guides on this trek talk extensively about how medicines and materials are harvested from plants and shrubs and how intricate system of irrigation provides water for everyone. Following a lunch on the banks of a nearby river enjoy a complimentary massage or spa at yeh Panas. The perfect way to finish your interior Adventure.
